In the present study, an analysis is carried out to investigate the effect of chemical reaction and radiation on a steady two-dimensional magneto-hydrodynamics (MHD) heat and mass transfer free convection flow of a viscous incompressible fluid along a stretching sheet with heat generation along with the effect of viscous dissipation. The basic non-linear partial differential equations governing the flow field are reduced to a system of coupled non-linear ordinary differential equations by similarity transformations and the equations are solved numerically by applying Nachtsheim-Swigert shooting iteration technique along with sixth order Runge-Kutta integration scheme. The numerical results with respect to embedded parameters are displayed graphically for the non-dimensional velocity, temperature and concentration profiles. Finally the effects of the pertinent parameters which are of physical and engineering interest are presented in tabular form. Dhaka Univ. J.

The unsteady two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic heat and mass transfer free convection flow of an incompressible viscous electrically conducting polar fluid through a porous medium past a semi-infinite vertical porous moving plate in the presence of a transverse magnetic field with thermal diffusion and heat generation is considered. The plate moves with a constant velocity in the longitudinal direction and the free stream velocity follows an exponentially increasing or decreasing. A uniform magnetic field acts perpendicularly to the porous surface which absorbs the polar fluid with a suction velocity varying with time. The equations of conservation of mass, momentum, energy and concentration which govern the case study of heat and mass transfer flow have been obtained. The equations have been solved numerically by Galerkin finite element method. The effect of various flow parameters are presented graphically. Representative results for velocity profiles, temperature profiles and concentration profiles are obtained for several values of pertinent parameters which are of physical and engineering interest.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jname.v11i1.12844

The present study comprises of steady two dimensional magnetohydrodynamic heat and mass transfer forced convection flow along a vertical stretching sheet in the presence of magnetic field with radiation. The nonlinear partial differential equations governing the flow field occurring in the problem have been transformed to dimensionless nonlinear ordinary differential equations by introducing suitably selected similarity variables. The ensuing equations are simultaneously solved by applying Nachtsheim-Swigert shooting iteration technique with sixth order Runge-Kutta integration scheme. The results in the form of velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are then displayed graphically. The corresponding skin-friction coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are displayed graphically and also in tabular form as well. Several important parameters such as the prandtl number (Pr), radiation parameter (N), magnetic field parameter (M), heat source parameter (Q), schmidt number (Sc), suction parameter (fw ) and eckert number (Ec) are confronted. The effects of these parameters on the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are investigated. Key Words: MHD; Forced convection; Stretching sheet; Radiation; Heat generation.
